Led resume review and provided job leads (...coordinated via the Army National Guard platoon leader..) for a US military platoon stationed in the Horn of Africa in preparation for their return to civilian life

-The Project started in earnest on June 23, 2017 (following a call to action I led in response to the following request from Infantry Officer B. Duke - see original post at https://bit.ly/3RV7PXb).

In addition to the resume review, I also coordinated with the Platoon Leader on the following tasks:

-Work with liaison(s) / stakeholder(s) within the Office of a Representative in the U.S. House to facilitate a connection between the Platoon Leader (the Infantry Officer) and that/those resources.

-Engage an F100 company (...and indirectly another F100 company, as that is where IO Duke work(ed)) to facilitate discovery of job opportunities for the platoon upon return from deployment. Show less
